Ukraine war: Crimea bridge targeted by missiles

BBC Online :
Two Ukrainian missiles have targeted a bridge linking Russia to the annexed Crimean peninsula, Moscow says.

Videos on social media show plumes of smoke rising near Kerch bridge. Russia’s defence ministry said S-200 missiles had been used and shot down causing no damage.

Ukraine has not commented on the alleged attack.

There have been at least two other attacks targeting the bridge in the past few months.

The Kerch bridge was opened in 2018 and enables road and rail travel between Russia and Crimea – Ukrainian territory annexed by Russia in 2014.
